A major witness in the United States’ Department of Justice case against Julian Assange has admitted to fabricating key accusations in the indictment against the Wikileaks founder. The witness, who has a documented history with sociopathy and has received several convictions for sexual abuse of minors and wide-ranging financial fraud, made the admission in a newly published interview in Stundin where he also confessed to having continued his crime spree whilst working with the Department of Justice and FBI and receiving a promise of immunity from prosecution.
The man in question, Sigurdur Ingi Thordarson, was recruited by US authorities to build a case against Assange after misleading them to believe he was previously a close associate of his. In fact he had volunteered on a limited basis to raise money for Wikileaks in 2010 but was found to have used that opportunity to embezzle more than $50,000 from the organization. Julian Assange was visiting Thordarson’s home country of Iceland around this time due to his work with Icelandic media and members of parliament in preparing the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative, a press freedom project that produced a parliamentary resolution supporting whistleblowers and investigative journalism.
The United States is currently seeking Assange’s extradition from the United Kingdom in order to try him for espionage relating to the release of leaked classified documents. If convicted, he could face up to 175 years in prison. The indictment has sparked fears for press freedoms in the United States and beyond and prompted strong statements in support of Assange from Amnesty International, Reporters without borders, the editorial staff of the Washington Post and many others.
US officials presented an updated version of an indictment against him to a Magistrate court in London last summer.

Well, they surely were not opposed to working with BLM and Antifa in the Jan 6 phony riot either.
The feds have become a criminal enterprise.
Too bad Sigurdur Ingi Thordarson is from iceland. He’d be a shoo in as a democrat congressman.
Julian Assange did not commit Arkancide... yet.
Trump and his ego thought he could outsmart and tame the deep-state.
He compromised with them, or misjudged them, far too many times. Assange was one of those cases. He should have pardoned Assange.
The simple truth is that he crossed Hillary Clinton, yet she cannot touch him now and that is not how the Clinton’s tie up loose ends. She will never rest until he is dead. She has great influence over many at the FBI, so it is logical that this is the only way she can get him. The Clinton’s are obsessed with pay back, and she probably feels like he cost her an election to President.
I guess Assange is in line for a suicide.
Trump not pardoning Assange is a stain on him, IMO.
hey doj is just doing what women and minorities are doing all the time
false accusations
